PORT EXTENSIONS Your cleaner is equipped with two adjustable suction ports on the underside of the unit. Both can be lowered to maximize the suction strength for picking up smaller debris. The suction ports are set to the lowest position by default. To adjust the ports, use your hand to pull or push the extensions into place. When you hear a click sound, this means the extension is locked into position and ready. To change again, repeat the same action. (See Figure A to the right)
